Inhaltsangabe

The book is an honest but obviously biased look back at the first 21 years of life growing up on a small farm in Southern Illinois. Experiences in the local church, one room school and in the community are remembered with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The 21 years covered the time immediately before, during and after World War II and the coverage gives a glimpse of farm life from the perspective of a wide-eyed, reflective, humorous but usually respectful boy growing into maturity during this exciting time of history. Regardless of your background, you will find yourself lurking somewhere within the pages of the book. If you don’t find yourself, count your blessings and chalk it up to your superior upbringing.
